Japanese movies and videos explained

Why do jidaigeki characters and certain present day Japanese males bark out their words in such a ridiculously gruff way?

Pussy whipped at home and so unsure of their masculinity??

Why do Japanese films so often have quiet scenes interspersed with action (e.g. Beat Takeshi movies)?

As Japanese conversations often take place sitting on tatami, there is naturally a lack of moving around, waving arms etc. The Japanese also accept more silence in a normal conversation than most Europeans (excluding Finns)

Why do the Japanese still have video recorders when the rest of the world has switched to Panasonic and Sony DVD players?

Due to the way the video rental shops work, their shelves are still full of videos and you might not be able to get want you want on DVD- especially as reissues are still quite rare.
